I thought that other plate was getting pretty full so...

Well the dirt man showed up with a gift certificate to Applebees cause he's so sorry about the condition of our yard. It really isn't his fault that it's under water still....with more rain in the forecast. He said he thought about raking the piles by hand but even a wheelbarrel would get stuck.

Then he decides that TODAY would be a good day to get started on trimming our bush line........something we had talked about starting in the spring.
(He must have spent all his $$ on Christmas... ) So...I now hear the buzzing of chain saws and the "ca Ching" of a cash register.

Cooper is thrilled for the company!

One of my girls got me a cookbook, The Barefoot Contessa for Christmas and I just made a dynamite sandwich for myself...fresh sliced mozarella, pesta sauce, and sliced tomato...grilled on the panini grill.

Je suis au regime!
